Pleiotanicals® Scavenox® GTE (R10025)

1 of 9 products in this brand
Pleiotanicals® Scavenox® GTE (R10025) is a highly stable green tea extract with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) for long-term antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening activity. Applications for Scavenox® GTE include anti-aging and anti-blemish regimens, skin-brightening and skin tone-balancing systems, and soothing and calming products for sensitive skin.   Scavenox® GTE protects the skin from oxidative stress with the demonstrated ability to prevent UV-induced lipid peroxidation and scavenging of singlet oxygen. Scavenox® GTE also inhibits inflammatory and proteolytic (MMPs and elastase) damage for protection against UV radiation, pollution, and other environmental stressors. These activities offer skin protection and renewal by preserving collagen and other components of the extracellular matrix (ECM, the structural foundation of the skin). Scavenox® GTE prevents excessive melanin production to combat hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.
